Weather models are showing a glorious plume of warm air heading for Ireland next week in a rare November blast of heat.
Temperatures could hit the mid or even high teens next week in Ireland during the unseasonable upturn in weather fortunes with Met Éireann saying there is "growing confidence in high pressure building" from the East.
Mild weather will be driven by high pressure stretching from Eastern Europe towards the weatern edge of Europe, giving Britain and Ireland some much-needed dry weather.
